Advantages and disadvantages of keeping animals in the zoos
During the last few years there has been noticed a great development in the field of zoos. Some people think that such places are entertaining and necessary. However, a lot of people think that zoos should be closed for numerous reasons. So, I will try to illustrate both points of view and express my opinion in the end of my essay.
One of the main advantages of zoos is preservation of endangered species. Maybe zoos will help to make sure that pandas, some types of tigers and parrots will not become extinct and delight people for many years to come. Moreover, children and elder people go to the zoo and learn something about wild animals without having to travel too far from home . They see how predactors live and what they really look like. Finally, in some rich zoos animals are assured of security and food. Sick or injured animals can be treated immediately giving them a much higher chance of survival. Besides animals in zoos are fed at regular intervals – there is no threat for them (particularly the young ones) of starving to death.
